Manage controlled configuration and feature flags

Available to

Configuration managers.

Some settings that change clinical behaviour are controlled: they need a review and an approval, and can be rolled back. Feature flags switch a capability on or off for a facility or role.

Change controlled configuration

  1. Open HIS Administration → Controlled Configuration and select New.
  2. Enter the Name, Key, Version and Configuration Type, the Facility if it is facility-specific, Effective From and the Payload Json. The payload must be valid JSON.
  3. Select Submit. The state becomes Pending Approval.
  4. A configuration manager reviews it and selects Approve. Only a configuration manager can approve.
  5. If a change causes a problem, open the approved configuration and select Roll Back. The previous superseded version is restored.
